The market remains risky due to low liquidity

MARKET OUTLOOK
The VN-Index traded within the 1,245–1,255 range today and closed at 1,249.55 points, remaining flat compared to the previous session. Market breadth leaned negative, with 12 out of 18 sectors declining, led by the Oil & Gas sector, which dropped over 1%, while other sectors saw insignificant movements. Foreign investors were net sellers on both the HSX and HNX today. The VN-Index shows signs of hesitation as it returns to its previous psychological range. In the coming sessions, the short-term trend of the index will depend on bottom-fishing demand in this area. However, liquidity remains weak, reflecting cautious market sentiment. Investors are advised to trade prudently.
